Rahul Venugopal

Senior Research Fellow

I am a fifth year PhD scholar studying the neural oscillatory dynamics associated with working memory and neuromodulatory protocols (tACS) aimed at enhancing cognitive performance both in typical and atypical brains. My research interests include Working Memory, Neuromodulation, Real time closed loop protocols, Heart-Brain interactions, Interoception, Dynamical systems & Chaos and effective teaching methods.
